fact the very SUBMITS of that great back

wonderful animal. The time is not far

In both standard bred aud draft horses
Wyoming has some of the best blood in
the world--in fact, great deal Of it. But
not enough, Nor are we rs a whole peo
pie given the breeding of horses proper
attention. We claim that the conditions
are most favorable for the highest success
in this line, and We here make assertion
that the time will come in our history
when the annual sales of Wyoming
horses willaggregatea larger sum ofmon-
ey than has ever been realized from the
vast herds of cattle that roam over our
plains.
We are not "horse mad" but we have
looked over the field and we believein
the truth ofthe above uttcrance. Year by
year the demand for good horses all over
the world increases and prices remain
remunerative. There are some fuctua-
tions in values, of course, but as whole
the demand is fully keeping pace with
the increased supply and the good ones
always SELL Improved machinery
and the substitution of steam and
other motive powers for horses does
not lessen the demand-but on
the contrary creates demand for
better animals.
There is nothing discouraging in the
outlook in this direction and we repeat
that our stockmen should all be repres-
ented at the September fair. The or.
ganization is intended to benefit the stock
raiser more than the horse racer, and We
insist that the men, whose money is IN
vested in breeding establishments should
turn out and shape the exhibits so as to
make them instructors TO all engaged in
the business. Our young men and boys
will soon be at the front in our places,
and if we make the fair what il should be
